Different background for every Space?

Is there any utility that would let me specify a different background image for every Space?

That seems like a trivial feature, but it may be difficult to implement. The system would have to keep the other desktop images loaded in memory (one per space) so that switching would work seamlessly and immediately, without any delay. That's potentially 16 images. If the Mac had two displays, that's 32. And a Mac can have more displays...
To answer your question, I have not seen any utility to do that.
I think the idea for Spaces it that your desktop does not move or change. It's your open application windows that slide onto an off of your ONE desktop, based on how you have grouped them. Spaces is an extension of Exposé, which does the same type of thing with open windows. I like the way it works now, and I think it would be distracting and a bit jarring if the background also changed as the windows slid into place.

    Is it possible to have a different background for each virtual desktop space?

    Yeah the spaces functionality is severely lacking but I suspect it will be upgraded later down the road.

  • I'm getting different readings for free space

    So I'm a little worried. I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro with a 750GB hard drive that I recently put in. I just did a system wipe and restore, and now I'm getting 2 different readings of vastly different amounts for free space. Disk Utility and About My Mac both label it at 433.29 Gigs, but Finder rates it at 590.3 Gigs! I'm fairly certain the About My Mac has the storage space correct. I have turned off mobile Time Machine backups, and I know there's a hidden partition for Recovery, but shouldn't Finder know about this? Disk Utility shows the hard drive as fine. Any other thoughts?

    See if this link offer some explanations:

    You might download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will give you a record of all your files and the respective sizes and you can compare that to your MBP stats.

  • Different footer for every package or for every classes

    Hi!
    1.How can I specify in javadoc that I want a different footer for every package or for every classes?
    2.how can I told to javadoc that I have external library used in my project (for providing javadoc comments for for these libraries )?
    I used an ant build file for generating javadoc API documentation for my packages.
    Thanks,
    Florin.

    1. Specifying a different footer for every package or class is not available
    (unless you modify the standard doclet).
    2. To generate documentation for external libraries, you must first have the
    source code to the external libraries. Then simply pass in the package names,
    using -classpath to point to them.
    You can also use -link to link to previously-generated javadoc documentation.

  • Different desktop in every space?

    Is there any way of putting a different photo on the desktop in every space. I know Spacesuit effectively does this but by overlaying the main desktop which is not what I want. I use ScreenRecycler to give me two screens and System Preferences allows me to put a panoramic photo across the two screens, but the same desktop for each space. Spacesuit puts the same photo on each screen. Any ideas or suggestions?

    I looked into Desktop curtain last night, after searching for an answer to this question. It seems to ALMOST work. I have a secondary monitor 1920 x 1600 px for my 15" MacBook Pro. For a given Space, Desktop Curtain puts up the same picture on both monitors, but on the larger monitor it covers only the pixel dimensions of the primary monitor. The Leopard Aurora peeks out in a nice band around the edges of the picture I want to fill the screen.
    Apart from that, what I want is to be able to have a different picture on each monitor for each Space, and Desktop curtain has only the options Primary Screen or All Screens. It isn't the answer in its present form.

  • Using a different background for the drop down options in a spry menu bar

    Hi all,
    I am trying to set just a background color in the drop down menu, I have a background image repeated along the x asis at the top but this has come down into the sub menu bar how can I change just the lower drop down menu to just a solid color??
    I have tryed google and youtube to try to find a answer but have had no luck in finding the solution to this problem.

    winabe23, you joined this month—probably because you were having trouble with CSS and HTML and you have certainly come to the right place.
    I'm going to send you to several places I have found helpful in understanding how you can make drop-down menus in CSS without the need for JavaScript—though JS may be necessary for certain older browsers that do not understand pseudo classes and may be necessary for the blind or keyboard navigation.
    CSS Wizardry has a great tutorial here.
    Line25 has one here.
    For those who don't want to have to wrangle code, here is a menu generator from PureCSSMenu.
    Here's a page by Eric Meyer who describes how the concept works.
    And here is a video tutorial by "zorro30mum." It's in two parts, but there is a link to Part 2 below Part 1.
    The reason why I am posting all of these links in my answer is because you're using Spry. And Spry has been found wanting by Adobe and they are deprecating and abandoning it.
    The Spry framework is an open source Ajax framework that Adobe developed. Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. On August 29th 2012, Adobe handed over Spry to github. If you want to help github develop Spry, there is a site for that, but I'm thinking you're not a JavaScript developer.
    I would recommend you pay a little more attention and time to Ajax, which is not deprecated and not discontinued. It allows you to do client-side triggers for server-side code. But that's if you want to do work in JavaScript, XML and a server-side language, like Cold Fusion, php or ASP.
    But in the meantime, the tutorials above will get you into understanding how this whole menuing stuff is done in CSS and give you the understanding necessary to do simple stuff, like changing the color of a background for a drop-down.
    I hope this helps you make great websites!

    Thanks
    Ramesh

    Hi Ramesh,
    You can use SM36 and use the "Job Wizard" to define a background job in simple step by step procedure
    Or
    Goto SM37 and specify a job name.
    Next specify the ABAP Program Name of the report you want to execute under Job Step.
    Then click on "Extended Job Selection" and goto the Period Tab.
    There select "Only Periodic Jobs" and then specify the frequency of execution based on Months, Weeks, Days, Hours or Minutes.
    Hope this helps,

  • Different backgrounds for menubar Spry UI 1.7

    All the q/a I've found refer to previous versions of MenuBar, not the newest 2.0 MenuBar that's in Spry UI 1.7 / DW CS5.
    I want to use different background images for each of the top level MenuBars. I've found the place in the CSS,
    #MenuBar .MenuItem {
        background-image: url(blue.jpg);
    Works fine for one -- and unfortunately all.  Now I want the adjacent bar to be red, the next to be yellow, etc.
    So how do I pass a unique identifier in each <li> in the source code -- when it looks like the JavaScript renames all the <li>'s to "MenuItem"?
    I've tried ids, classes, and names --
    <li class="red"> in the source code, and
    #MenuBar .MenuItem .red {
        background-image: url(red.jpg);
    or
    <li id="red"> in the source code, and
    #MenuBar .MenuItem #red {
        background-image: url(red.jpg);
    for example. No success.
    This should be easy, I would think.  Advice?

    I'm using the MenuBar that's in Spry-UI-1.7.  They call it MenuBar_2 in their menubar.css.  Says at the top:"
    /* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar_2 */
    /* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
        these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
         These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
        .MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
        .MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right."
    Says "/* SpryMenuBasic.css - version 0.5 - Spry Pre-Release 1.7 */" in that file.
    At any rate, my Web site isn't posted anywhere yet, it's still local.  My question is simply, given the menubar widget I'm using, what's the right syntax to use to identify different <li>'s under <ul id="MenuBar">, such that I can specify the images I want in different "#MenuBar .MenuItem xxx" lines in menubar.css? 
    Perusing SpryMenu.js, it would seem this section looks like it could be relevant:
    Spry.Widget.MenuBar2.prototype.transformMarkup = function()
        var evt = new Spry.Widget.Event(this);
        this.notifyObservers("onPreTransformMarkup", evt);
        if (!evt.performDefaultAction)
            return;
        // Find the <a> elements and convert them to MenuItems.

            this.appendChildNodes(label.contentContainer, ca);

        // Add MenuItemContainer class to all <li> elements.
        var eles = Spry.$$("li", this.element);
        for (var i = 0; i < eles.length; i++)
            this.addClassName(eles[i], this.menuItemContainerClass);
        // Find all <ul> elements and convert them to SubMenus.

  • Different maps for every month in FDQM for a single location/Entity

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have different account maps for each and every month in FDQM for a single entity/location.
    The requirement is,client needs to change accounts map each and every month,for eg; if in Jan ,account 1 is mapped to X, in feb same account 1 is mapped to y.
    Could any one tell me if this is possible in FDQM,if yes..how can we maintain different account maps for each period for one specific entity.
    Regards

    This is possible with the appropriate business process. FDM will apply the current map that exists to the current dataset. It will not retroactively change prior periods unless you specifically reprocess the maps (wither by reimporting data or by selecting Process Logic/Maps) for historical data.
    So as a map is updated monthly, the historical data is maintained and the current data uses the "new" map. If for some reason the prior period does need to be reprocessed with the "old" map, you can use the restore function to bring the map back to what it was during that period.

  • Different Background for Each Page of a SINGLE PDF?

    Hello Fellow Acrobats,
    I work in the film industry and lately, I've been helping quite a bit with Script Distribution.  If you work in film then you'll know that we color code each page according to the version of that page.  Our first draft is White.  Our Second Green, Third Blue, etc.  So when we issue updated pages, we print them on the color paper that corresponds to which revision this is.  The end result is a script that looks like it was printed on about 10 random colors, but it helps us know we are up to date, so for example, if me and a colleague are looking at something and his page 6 is blue and mine is green, we know his is more recent. 
    Long Story short with the advent of all these great color portable reading machines (iPhones, Laptops, Blackberry's, the impending iPad) it would be great if I could make a digital version that matched the physical...
    Bu when I select a background in Acrobat, it changes the ENTIRE SCRIPT.  I don't want to have to export these Scripts Page by Page and then re compile them, so is there a way to select 4 pages and change ONLY THOSE 4 pages background?  Then select another 15 and change only THIER background to a DIFFERENT color?  or am I going to have to export page by page...

    Ha ha, Thanks, that is exactly what I needed!  How perfectly obvious, but somehow easy to miss!  Thanks so much.

  • ITunes and my iPhone show two different amounts for available space

    I have been unable to syncronize my iPhone 5 for a while now.  I've tried unchecking the box to "Sync Music" which warned me it would remove music from my phone and then re-checking to re-add music back to my phone.  This has worked in the past when my phone has had issues synchronizing.  Now I appear to be totally stuck though.
    The issue I've run in to is that iTunes says that I have 4177 songs (24.80 GB) on my iPhone (see below).
    My iPhone under storage settings says I have 6.5GB (see below).
    When I try to sync, I get the error message that says I don't have enough free space.  I've tried clearing out apps, etc to give me more free space but what I'm finding again and again is that the issue is what iTunes thinks I have as free space is different than what my iPhone thinks.
    For instance right now my iPhone shows 20.1 GB available but when I try to synchronize, iTunes says I need an additional 244.6 MB of free space.  I clearly have way more than that according to my iPhone but can't seem to figure anything out.
    If it's helpful, I'm in iOS version 8.2 and iTunes version 12.1.1.4 running on Windows 7 Professional SP1

    You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.

  • Which desktop environments allow different backgrounds for workspaces?

    I've just installed a brand-new Arch linux - all lovely - and to try to save memory (as my laptop as only 512 Mb) I thought I'd use a smaller desktop environment than KDE, which I was using previously, with my old distribution.  So I installed Xfce.  It's nice except for one thing - it only allows one background, so the same image appears on all virtual desktops (workspaces).
    What environments, other than KDE, allow each workspace to have its own background?
    Thanks,

    hi
    you need to do the following:
    1. set the report as an executable.
    2. in tcode sm36
    create a job.
    assign the abap program- the report created in step 1 ( if you are scheduling from the same sap gateway else it is to be scheduled as an external program)
    for the scheduling- you can schedule it after an event ( if the open cursor fetch exceeds or equals 10000) - if the no.of records read are less than 10000, then exit the report- so that the job will not be run.
    schedule the date and time
    save the job.
    3. to view the status and change/delete the job use tcode sm37 and delete the release jobs.
